What is an Au Pair?

 

An Au Pair is a “big sister/brother” who lives abroad as an extended member of a host family.

 

These young people provide child care services in exchange for room, board, a weekly stipend, and contributions towards education.

 

Most Au Pairs participate in the Au Pair program for the valuable cultural experience of living with a host family and are treated more as a member of the family than as an employee.

 

Having a bond with your host family is very important and will make your Au Pair year (or two) so much more pleasant.

 

Au Pair Clarissa is a firm believer of cultural exchange and in this video, she gives your tips and tricks to bond with your host family abroad.

 

Thank you, Super Au Pair, Clarissa!
